You may have seen this at my indiepublic blog (which i've now retired due to this one) but it is too cute not to share to everyone else in the blogging world (well i think so anyway!!)
When I make earrings I look at my beads and then look around my flat then look around outside for some inspiration.
One day I was looking up at my bookshelf and sitting there was my little russian matryoshka doll. I looked up at it, then looked down at my beads, then all of a sudden this teeny tiny little earring was born.
I kept one pair for my shop and then had to go and make another pair straight away for myself! They are so teeny and tiny that I couldn't help looking at myself in the mirror (ok i'm just a tad vain!) going 'awww so cute!' every couple of minutes. My husband rolled his eyes after about the 5th 'awww it's so cute' and just says 'yes dear' with that look on his face.
Here they are, and just below was my inspiration - u can just see the tiny baby to the very very left of the photo.
Hiya! Thanks for visiting my blog! Feel free to have a look around and if you have time why not visit my Etsy Shops and my Blog Garage Sale to check out all my goodies that could soon become your goodies :)
If there are any photos you like on my blog but can't find in my shop just send me an email or etsy convo and we can work something out!

Us humans usually create an expectation of what to expect when we go somewhere new for the first time - and this is based on some pre-conception set-up from either experience or movies/photos. The same happened to me. I had a pre-conception of what to expect when we got to Barcelona based on what we experienced when we last visited a part of Europe - Italy.
Sometimes doing this is good, but sometimes it can be a bit disappointing. Well, I am not disappointed; I did learn however that you should travel with an open mind.
Barcelona is a beautiful place in it's own rights. There are not as many historical sites as you might find in Rome - and only about a 1/4 of the amount of museums, churches and old buildings. However, where these sites do exist, they make up for the quantity which is available. While walking through the Gothic area, you can sense the history in the buildings and narrow passages, the stone clad walkways and even the locals that make a living in these areas; from the peep show shop to the guy sitting in the street outside his shop making clothes.
The people in Barcelona are way friendlier than those in Italy. They treat visitors with a lot more respect, and are happy to assist even with the apparent language barrier. It is quite interesting how sign language is a universal communication tool. And this is a big help when it comes to ordering food!
My only disappointing moment was when we found out that the harbour tour operators were closed for the holidays - I would think that this is the most profitable time to be open!
And the most memorable so far: the church bells! It's been a year since waking up and going to sleep with these. It almost adds to the 'medieval' feel! It almost makes you anticipate the sound of horses riding past with the klank-klank of the knight's armor as it moves about.

Using a functional resume format is beneficial when you have gaps in employment. The functional resume highlights honors and achievements more than work experience. It lists your skills and other attributes that make you a good employee at the top of the resume. It is important to fill the gaps in employment with experiences that helped you grow. Volunteer work, continuing education, and other projects you worked on during that time are all great options. Be sure to use a positive tone while describing the gaps in employment and be confident about them when interviewing later.
There are a few different ways to format your resume. Choosing the best format for you will only make the resume writing process easier. When choosing a format, you should consider the job for which you are applying. Chronological, functional, and hybrid formatting styles each have specific purposes for the applicant.

Decades ago, mineral water and carbonated drinks, flavored with medicinal herbs, were used as tonics for common ailments.
"Historically, people didn't make these sodas because they were cute to drink," says Chris Reed, chief executive officer of Los Angeles-based Reed's Inc., which makes Reed's Ginger Brews and China Cola. "They did it because they needed a root beer spring tonic to clear out their systems after the winter, or ginger ale to help digestion. Back in the log cabin days, people added a little sugar and a little yeast for effervescence."
Today, the consumption of soft drinks is far more pervasive and far less deliberate. Beverage Marketing Corp. estimates the soft drink market at $45 billion in annual wholesale sales, with the "new age" category—including sports drinks, energy drinks, smoothies, teas, fruit juices and premium sodas—accounting for about $13 billion of that total. The new age soda category, populated by soft drinks made with healthier ingredients, is valued at about $320 million.
Today's Take
In modern times, nutritionists and obesity researchers attribute expanding waistbands, particularly among teen-agers, to decreased exercise and increased caloric intake, and many name soft drinks as a leading caloric culprit. A 1998 study by the Center for Science in the Public Interest estimated the average 13- to 18-year-old soda drinker—male or female—consumes about 9 percent of his or her calories from soft drinks; boys and girls in the 90th percentile get about 18 percent of their calories from pop.
Mainstream sodas, like many natural versions, rely on high fructose corn syrup as a sweetener. As adults become more concerned about what they and their kids consume, a growing number of natural soda producers have moved beyond touting natural flavors and colors to finding and bringing healthier drink alternatives to market.
Ginger And Tea
Reed, an avowed ginger lover both for its flavor and medicinal qualities, says his flight of ginger brews remain faithful to the ideal of latter-day "functional" drinks. Reed's ginger brews depend on fresh ingredients for taste rather than on flavor enhancements.
Reed begins by brewing batches of roots, spices and fruit juices. After searching for traditional American recipes, he found what he was looking for in the Caribbean, falling in love with a mixture of fresh ginger and pineapple juice that marries its flavors while brewing over the course of a few weeks.
"I don't just go to a flavor laboratory and say, 'Give me some natural flavor for root beer.' I'm constantly searching the world for new recipes," he says.
Kombucha Wonder Drink, made in Portland, Ore., also incorporates traditional curatives into its certified organic beverage. The Wonder Drink capitalizes on green and oolong teas' benefits but adds another twist, kombucha culture, which is similar to sourdough starter. Asians have made Kombucha tea for thousands of years by fermenting the culture with tea and sugar over a period of days to achieve a beverage that packs a healthful punch.
"Effectively, the Wonder Drink is a fermented, nonalcoholic tea beverage," says Chief Operating Officer Jagat Khalsa. "Homemade products are often sour, they've got floaties, and because it's not pasteurized, it's best made in small batches. For safety reasons, we pasteurize all of our products."
Khalsa doesn't make claims as to the Wonder Drink's relative health benefits, although customers have written letters describing how invigorated they feel after consuming the beverage. Part of the wonder in the drink is the calorie content: An 8.5-oz bottle has 60 calories and 8 grams of sugar, about a third of the sugar typically found in a similar amount of natural soda pop.
"You get neither the sugar nor caffeine hangover from this. Each bottle has 75 percent less caffeine than a regular cup of tea—not quite decaf levels, but pretty close," Khalsa says.
Steap Green Tea Soda, a product of The Healthy Beverage Co., also offers tea's benefits to soft drink fans. Brewed green tea is combined with carbonated water and flavors reminiscent of mainstream beverages like Mountain Dew and Orange Crush. Each 12-ounce bottle of U.S. Department of Agriculture-certified organic Steap contains the equivalent of a cup of green tea and is sweetened with organic, evaporated cane sugar.
Eric Schnell, co-founder of Newton, Penn.-based The Healthy Beverage Co., says evaporated cane sugar is the least-processed sugar available. "Our sugar has actual nutritive value—it has calcium, fiber and vitamin A—because it's from a living plant," Schnell says.
Furthermore, Schnell estimates that 51 percent of all corn seeds grown in the United States are genetically modified, so drinking beverages sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup increases the possibility of ingesting genetically modified organisms. "I don't want anything in my product that could have a GMO as a source," Schnell says.
Fruit Twist
Several companies, such as IZZE Beverage Co., Smuckers' R.W. Knudsen Family and The Switch, have turned to fruit juice for soda pop flavor and sweetening.
Todd Woloson, chief executive officer of Boulder, Colo.-based IZZE, initially looked to Europe for a healthier, more sophisticated fizzy drink. Not finding anything that satisfied him, he partnered with friend Greg Stroh, a member of the Stroh's beer family, to concoct a drink made solely of fruit juice and carbonated water.
IZZE comes in four flavors—sparkling blackberry, grapefruit, pear and lemon— combining 70 percent fruit juice with 30 percent sparkling water.
"Fruit juice is filled with all kinds of essential vitamins and nutrients. A bottle of IZZE is actually equal to a serving of fruit based on the USDA food guide pyramid," Woloson says.
Like IZZE, makers of The Switch were weary of over-hyped juice drinks that contained 10 percent or less fruit juice. Inspired, they developed a carbonated, 100 percent juice alternative, sweetened with a variety of reconstituted juices, with seven flavors ranging from lemonade to apricot peach and watermelon strawberry. "We have a healthy product that tastes like soda. Moms like it because it tastes like juice. Kids love it because it's cool. Teenagers, sick of the 'establishment,' love it because it's not Coke or Pepsi. So our brand appeals to consumers in a psychographic nature instead of a demographic nature," says Bill Sipper, executive vice president of The Switch, located in Richmond, Va.
With Americans' ever-increasing interest in organic, healthful products, more natural soda pop beverages are likely to follow the leaders in search of what Khalsa terms "product DNA."
"There's something in the DNA of things that makes them great or approachable or part of your life ... what they call, in yogic terms, prana—a certain breath to it, the power of its own life," Khalsa says. "Because things that don't have that heart to them are not sustainable."

New Challenges
Banditry On The Rise
Calradia has long had its issues with the roaming bandits of the realm, but within the mod you'll find their numbers renewed in force with leaders to guide them. It is possible you may even find them amassing armies of their own.
Expanded Troops by Monnikje
The default troop tree found within the Floris mod, these troops are considerably higher in level, skill and better geared than their native counterparts.
Tournament System by Windyplains
The tournaments have been overhauled to heavily increase their difficulty, yet still provide a great deal of flexibility for players of differing skill. The higher you set your difficulty the greater your rewards for winning will be.
Instead of blindly charging at your party the AI, if set to use the "formations AI" in the Floris Mod Options, will often take a defensive position and work as a coordinated group.
The heavier the armor your character is wearing the more they'll begin to see penalties to power draw, riding, horse archery and athletics.

Leaking shower drain? Previously the only option was to tear out your shower to replace the drain, repair the leaking drain from underneath, or even avoid using the shower entirely. No longer! With WingTite replacement shower drains, only replace the drain, not the whole shower. Installation is from above the shower, which can significantly reduce time and money spent replacing your shower drain.
Q. "My second-floor shower drain is cracked, but I have decorative tiles on the ceiling below and I don't want to ruin my ceiling if I don't have to. Will this replacement shower drain work for me?"
A. In short, yes. As long as no damage to the ceiling and structure was caused by the leak, this replacement shower drain is an ideal solution to your second-floor cracked shower drain. Many people have added decorative ceiling tiles only to have the shower on the floor above begin to leak. Rather than tear out that beautiful and expensive ceiling, use this replacement shower drain to replace the cracked shower drain; because it's installed completely from the top, no underneath access is necessary, saving your ceiling!
Q. "Wow, this looks just like what I need! Will it really save me time and money?"
A. Since the average uncomplicated installation of this replacement shower drain can be done in far less than an hour, this replacement shower drain is usually less expensive and less time consuming when compared with hiring someone else to do the job, tearing out a ceiling or tunneling under a slab foundation, not to mention cleaning up after those jobs. However, as always, it is recommended that you check with your local plumbing codes to confirm this solution is suitable for your installation per the regulations in your area.
Q. "This looks great, but are there any tricks to getting this to go in just right?"
A. As this replacement shower drain has an o-ring that seals over the existing standpipe, the standpipe must be smooth, so take care when preparing the pipe for the drain installation. Complete installation instructions are included with the drain.
Q. "Okay, I've removed the leaking drain from my shower, but the standpipe is too short to install this replacement drain. What can I do?"
A. If your pipe is too short to install this replacement drain, one possible solution would be to install a PVC coupling and an additional length of pipe to bring the height up to where it needs to be. Then simply install this replacement shower drain like normal.
Q. "I'm very excited about fixing my leaking shower, but will this definitely solve my problem?"
A. If your existing shower drain is cracked and leaking, then installing a replacement shower drain is the appropriate solution. However, there could be other reasons your shower is leaking. Be sure to confirm the source of your leak and the appropriate solution to ensure the best results. If you are unsure of the cause of your leak, you may wish to contact a trusted local professional instead.
Q. "Will this replacement shower drain work for my tile floor shower?"
A. This replacement shower drain has been designed to fit plastic and fiberglass shower floors, and so is not suitable for installation with tile floor showers as those drains are designed differently. However, we do offer both square and round drains for tile shower floors.
Q. "Will this replacement shower drain work for my tub?"
A. Tub (and tub/shower combo) drains are designed differently; this replacement shower drain has been designed to fit plastic and fiberglass shower floors only. However, we do offer both drain bodies and complete waste and overflow drains for standard tub/shower combos.

But it would make about as much sense as what they actually did this week in cutting ties with the Vatican. Here is why:
The Rabbinate cut ties with the Vatican in order to protest the reinstating of a Holocaust denier as bishop. The bishop had previously been excommunicated along with several others for rebelling against the Roman Church.
Now don't get me wrong, I have no problem with the Rabbinate cutting ties with the Vatican. I don't think there ever should have been any ties with a body that has tortured, expelled and in every way possible persecuted Jews at every chance it got throughout history. It is very nice that they held Vatican II in the 60's and declared that they no longer believe that all Jews are doomed to Hell. In my book, that is a tiny step in the right direction, but nowhere near sufficient. (I would like to see something in the order of sever billion dollars payed annually to the State of Israel as reparations for all of the damage to body and property that the Church did to Jews over the millenia. Then I would consider their apology to be perhaps sincere.)
What I don't understand one bit, is why this action triggered the Rabbinate to cut ties. Mahmoud Abbas is after all an unapologetic Holocaust denier. The government of Israel took him from being considered a terrorist, and now props him up over and over again as the 'peace partner'. Our government gives guns to terrorist, and lets thousands of terrorist out of jail, just to prop up this Holocaust denier so that we can hand him our historic, Biblical homeland on a silver platter.
If recognizing a Holocaust denier, is more of a reason to cut ties with an entity than thousands of years of persecution, then the Chief Rabbinate had better cut ties with the State of Israel ASAP.
For those of you who use your brain to think I would like to suggest a different approach. How about we cut ties with the Vatican because they are a vile body that has brought only pain and suffering to our people. Then we cut ties with H.D. Abbas because he is a Holocaust denier and we should have nothing to discuss with him. Then we get back to what we need to be doing as a people. That is building our nation and making it strong on the land that God has given to us after 2,000 years that we didn't have any means to do so because of people like the Pope and H.D. Abbas.

The Association of Early Childhood Educators Ontario (AECEO) has been leading the charge to improve wages and working conditions for Registered Early Childhood Educators (RECEs) and staff in Ontario.The AECEO's Decent Work Task Force delivers our workforce strategy recommendations to the provincial government today - November 30th
We are calling for a commitment from the Ontario government to bring all RECEs up to $25/hr to reflect their level of education and the value of their work.
Read the full report here.
"RECEs are the key to quality in early years and child care programs, so it is critical that their needs are central to considerations for planning, funding and building new quality early years and child care services. Early childhood education is more than places and spaces – it's time to value every educator." said Lyndsay Macdonald, RECE and Coordinator at the AECEO.
With the Ontario government's promise to create 100,000 child care spaces over five years, parents and educators are expecting Kathleen Wynne to deliver on the commitment to transform the way early years and child care services are provided. But with 24% of RECEs and 67% of other staff working in licensed child care making $15/hour or less, decent work can't wait five years or until the next election.
"I am a proud registered early childhood educator who is passionate about caring for and educating young children. I worked for a wonderful non-profit community based child care program but I had to make the very difficult decision to leave the field. I want to start my own family soon and I can't do it on an ECE salary." Said Toronto RECE and AECEO Board Member Alana Powell.
AECEO engaged more than 4,000 early childhood educators in a consultation survey about what should be included in the government's workforce strategy. Regarding wages and compensation, 72% reported that they do not feel they are appropriately compensated for their work. More than 9 out of 10 (91%) of respondents agreed that a publicly funded wage scale is an appropriate mechanism to improve wages in the sector. RECEs are sending a message to Premier Kathleen Wynne that improving wages and working conditions is critical to meet the new staffing demands of expanded child care and parent-child (EarlyON) spaces.
"I know that too many early childhood educators can't afford to stay working in a profession that they love. As an RECE looking to the future, I want to contribute my professional skills and knowledge, but it's only fair to expect decent wages and working conditions." said Sophia Mohamed, a George Brown College Early Childhood Leadership student.

Courtney Taylor commented 2017-12-02 11:45:17 -0500I'm happy to hear about this possible wage increase! As an RECE, I work hard to provide a fun, nurturing environment for children. We work hard to foster children's development, which prepares them for school. I feel what we do makes a huge impact for children and families and needs to be recognized. RECE's work just as hard as those in the school board, yet we are paid less. There is strong support for this task force in the community!
Annette Taylor commented 2017-12-02 10:50:50 -0500Great to hear and not before time! RECE's have a very demanding and critical role to play in our communities. With a more aligned pay scale, you will see more people attracted to the profession and more dedication to this career path. The best RECE's are not in it for the money, but for their love of children, and that is the best reason in the world to reward them for theIr passion and caring. Please know that you have strong support for this task force in the Ontario community.

WATCH: Blazers fans display a tremendous lack of tic-tac-toe knowledge
Twitter: @JeffGSpursZone
You can't make this up San Antonio Spurs fans.
The game of tic-tac-toe is simple enough. Get three in a row of your shape, whether it be an "x" or an "o", on the board and you win. There is also some defense involved when you see your opponent inching closer to three in a row but otherwise, an easy game to master.
But not for these Blazers fans.
During a timeout, the Blazers allowed a couple of fans a chance to win some prizes. All they had to do was make a bucket and put their shape on the tic-tac-toe board and shoot for the win.
Easy right?
Check out these two Blazers fans showing how not to play tic-tac-toe.
Congratulations Blazers fans for the worst showing of tic-tac-toe ever.

Vegetable ravioli
Paolo Sari, Chef at the Michelin-starred restaurant Elsa, is very strict about the 100% organic rule for everything that comes in and out of the kitchen. The proof is in the pudding, or rather, in the ravioli.
Vegetable ravioli
Servings: 4
- 8 baby carrots
- 1 chunk yellow squash
- 4 mini courgettes
- 4 pink radish
- 32 peeled baby broad beans
- ½ Romanesco

- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- Pepper
- 1 pinch oregano
Spinach filling
- 500 g baby spinach shoots
- 50 g bread crumbs
- ½ bunch oregano
- ½ bunch basil
- Salt and pepper
- 25 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 50 g ricotta
- 2 eggs
Dough (prepare the day before and refrigerate 24 hours before using)
- 500 g flour
- 400 g egg yolk
Vegetables (cook at the same time as the ravioli)
Wash the vegetables by rubbing them gently under running water.
Peel the Romanesco. Put aside a few round pieces.
Cut the squash into half-centimetre sticks.
Cut the broad beans into thin strips.
Save the asparagus tips, the most tender part.
Cut the radishes in half.
Melt some lightly salted butter in a very hot pan and add 4 spoonfuls of the ravioli cooking water.
Sauté the chopped vegetables in the pan.
Add a little salt and pepper and another ladle of ravioli cooking water.
Put aside.
Spinach filling

Spread the dough very thinly into a rectangular shape with a rolling pin.
Cut the dough into two strips.
Dampen the dough with water using a brush.
Place the filling on the dough (spheres of filling evenly spaced).
Fold the dough strip in two so that the filling is completely covered.
Stick the dough together, make the edges even, and cut into ravioli squares.
Using the brush, dampen the edges of the ravioli with water again.
Finish by pinching the two outer edges together in the middle to make oval ravioli. Make sure the joints are tight.
Cook the ravioli in salted boiling water for about 4 minutes.
Finish cooking the ravioli in the vegetable cooking water.
Place the ravioli in the hollow of the serving dish.
Place the vegetables one by one.

When will Griffey get hot?
There have been some recent inquiries about the way Ken Griffey Jr. has been hitting — or not hitting — during the first three weeks of the regular season.
I just received this one from T.J. Lee, of Spokane: Hi Jim: Junior is flat not hitting. Is he just in a slump or is it something else? I haven't noticed anyone mention his poor performance in the media. Is the media leaving it alone because they don't want to bad-mouth a legend?
Love your blog.
Well,T.J., one of the dangers in this business is jumping to conclusions. A baseball season lasts 162 games, not 22. Yes, Griffey is off to a slow start, but I expect him to heat up when the weather warms up.
I can't speak for other media-types, but I am reluctant to get on the "Griffey-is-washed-up" bandwagon, which, fortunately, is not overcrowded. In my opinion, he will have a solid season. If he hits 25 home runs and drives in 70 or 80 runs, which I believe will happen, that would be more than satisfactory from the 39-year-old. His value in the clubhouse also is worth about 50 points on his batting average, along with a few home runs and RBIs. You would have had to be in the Mariners clubhouse last season, and again this season, to fully understand what I'm talking about.
From what I can gather, Griffey isn't that far off from making solid contact more times than not. During a recent chat with him and other Mariners writers in the visiting clubhouse in Anaheim — it was not an exclusive interview as one of the Seattle-area bloggers intimated — he talked about some of the scuff marks on his bat that came from balls that he had hit, explaining that he was less than an inch away from hitting the sweet part of the bat.
Junior knows his swing better than anyone else, and when he says "I'm not that far off", I believe him.
My advice is T.J. and everyone else is to relax and see what happens over the long run. If we get to the All-Star break and he is still hitting below .200 with few home runs and RBIs, that would be the time to get concerned, not on May 1.
Meanwhile, it is back to the AL West battles for the next five games as the Mariners play the Athletics for the fourth, fifth and sixth time this season, and get their first look at the Rangers.
If someone had told manager Don Wakamatsu — and probably any of the players along with GM Jack Zduriencik — that the Mariners would have a 13-9 record in April, I'sm sure they would have taken that in a heartbeat.
— Jim Street
2 Comments
I agree. Junior normally starts slow, always has, and I expect him to finish with 30 HRs and 85 RBIs.
I am aware that Jr. is pushing 40. He is also at least 20 lbs overweight! He would move more easily at bat and around the bases if he would lose 20 (or more)pounds! He might also live longer without the excess weight (which will continue to pile up as he gets older) and perhaps prevent more serious consequences on the way. Don't the trainers or the coaches consider this important? JK

Painting a kitchen alters the appearance and elevates the ambience. It is hard to find paintings or textures that suit to the need of a person. We all adjust or compromise at some time. Nevertheless, painting a kitchen is a fun activity and a simple task. It gives an outstanding opportunity to build an appealing visual treat that suits to the taste of the user.
Before starting the painting, the surface needs attention. Preparing the surface is a crucial part. It depends on the existing cabinets and the materials. For example, if there are laminates, removing it is possible. If the laminate is hard to remove, people can avoid removing it. Using a 150 grade sandpaper, people have to rub the surface to remove the presence of dirt, furniture elements and other residues existing on the surface. Dust the entire area into a rag. Be careful while dusting. Make sure to have necessary protective gear such as face masks. If there is any presence of wax on the surface, scrubbing them a couple times will remove the content.
Begin the painting with bin primer. Start from the top of the area and work slowly towards the down. The primer is the base coat and dries quickly. Hence, the application should be at a faster rate. For the cabinets, paint them inside and then cover the outer surface. After finishing with the primer, use sanding sponges to smooth the surface of the area. Dust down the entire area with spirits and collect in a rag. Using a 1-2-3 primer, re-coat the entire area again from the top to bottom. Will any dents and holes in the surfaces using 2 pack fillers. It takes 2 hours for the mixture to become hard. Dust, the area, again using a sanding sponge and coat with 1-2-3 primer. Apply two finish coats. When dried, use 240 grade sandpaper to dust the entire region. This action provides a smooth finish to the entire painting area. Clean the covering with water to eliminate the dust. Applying the final finish coat completes the painting job.
The entire activity is a time taking process. Nevertheless, it gives a chance for people to paint according to their taste. They have the opportunity to design their kitchen according to their needs. Painting is not an easy task and hence, people should be careful while performing the different actions. It would need some time to learn the technique, but is an excellent method to design a kitchen. Moreover, the do-it-yourself project will attract a little investment, as there is no involvement of the professionals, who charge exorbitant fees.
Starting with a small area, as a trial provides an understanding about the entire activity. One should be clear about the color they would like to coat and buy the necessary products beforehand. Visiting a hardware store provides plenty of ideas about the colors. Browsing the internet is also helpful in choosing an excellent color and needed primer accessories that are needed to complete the job.

Well, CPUs are not very relevant for games in general, with very few exceptions. So broadwell single threat performance (that's what Zen is currently compared to) is totally sufficient for most games and the mobo and CPU might be much cheaper. Remember that Intel boards are also more expensive too because Intel forced their board partners to make the pins for the socket.
Vega 10 has some really great architectural stuff btw. fp16 double performance for example (something NVidia promised but didn't deliver). NVidia has better marketing (as seen in these forums) but AMD certainly has better architecture in the GPU department.

Answers to many of the frequently asked questions that you may have will be listed below.
Feel free to contact us via e-mail, call, or come by if you have a specific question or questions that are not answered below:
A: A pawn is basically a collateral loan. We will make a cash loan to you based upon the value of the item you provide.
Pawn shops work by the customer pledging a piece of property as collateral, and in return, pawnbrokers lend them money. When customers pay back the loan, their merchandise is returned to them. Pawn loans are made on everything from jewelry to electronics. If the customer elects not to redeem his or her collateral, there is no credit consequence to the borrower and the items are sold at a value price to retail consumers.
A: 1.) A pawn is fast, easy, & very convenient. Just bring your item you wish to pledge as collateral, & in a matter of a few minutes you will be walking away with your cash.
2.) No Credit Check is required. Your loan is based on the value of your collateral not your past credit history! We say YES even when banks say NO.
3.) You have up to 2 Months before you have to pay anything! Our loans are written up as 30 day loans with an additional 30 day grace period. This gives you 60 days before you have to pay a dime!
4.) Easy monthly extensions & renewals are available to pay up interest or to give you some additional time. After your 60th day, as long as you make a minimum monthly payment, you can extend your loan out as long as you need!
A: Plano Pawn Shop specializes in fine jewelry & firearms. We offer online & in store loans.

Abe's Free Education Plan May Slow the BOJ's Inflation Drive
Prime minister Shinzo Abe's campaign pledge to expand free education may come with an unintended consequence: a hit to the Bank of Japan's efforts to spur inflation.
Economists from Barclays Securities Japan Ltd to Nomura Holdings Inc. and IHS Global KK see the likelihood of a significant — though probably temporary — drag on the BOJ's benchmark consumer price index.
"There's no doubt that it will put downward pressure on core CPI," said Harumi Taguchi, principal economist at IHS in Tokyo. "The year that education costs are brought down, it will definitely have an effect. The impact should last at least for that year," she said.
If fees for pre-school and private high school are eliminated, this could shave 0.4 percentage points from core CPI, according to projections by Barclays. Nomura estimates a negative impact of as much as 0.5 percentage points.
Yet much is uncertain. First, Abe's ruling party and his coalition partner have to win the October 22 election, then hash out the details of the plan and when it should begin. Adding to the complexity, the prime minister has earmarked revenue from a scheduled increase in the sales tax in 2019 to fund free education. The last hike in the levy spurred a surge in inflation, followed by a sharp contraction in spending and prices.
Not everyone is so pessimistic. SMBC Nikko Securities Inc. economists led by Yoshimasa Maruyama note the possible impact from free education, but emphasize it as temporary and something to look past.
It also has to be remembered that expanding free education could be a significant financial benefit for young families, and this is important amid efforts to lift the birth rate and stem Japan's demographic decline.
Still, it could pose a challenge to the BOJ, which has made progress in inflation over recent months but is still well short of its price goal, despite more than four years of unprecedented monetary stimulus.
Nomura estimates that expanding free education could halve the inflationary pressures from raising the sales tax by 2 percentage points to 10 percent.
Barclays also points to 2010, when the Democratic Party government of the time cut some high school fees, weighing on core CPI.
"Further downward pressure on Japan's already sluggish CPI inflation due to the elimination of education fees could force the BOJ to sharply lower its CPI inflation outlook," Barclays economists led by Yuichiro Nagai wrote in a report dated September 26.
Depending on the timing of the move, it could even push back the eventual normalisation of monetary policy, they said.

Marvin Parks – Marvin Parks
The arrival of Marvin Parks on today's jazz scene can be considered a very fitting addition to the renaissance of the African-American jazz crooner tradition. While having his roots in gospel and considering jazz singers from the'50s and '60s such as King Cole, Johnny Hartman and Joe Williams an inspiration, Marvin Parks yet remains by all means an artist of today.
A debut album that shines new light on some well-known standards but also features original compositions, Marvin Parks' first opus has been produced by Nicola Conte, who backed Marvin's light baritone with a combo of amazing musicians.
The album has been recorded in Italy with a fantastic line-up including Daniele Tittarelli (alto saxophone), Francesco Lento (trumpet), Pietro Lussu (piano), Luca Alemanno (double bass), Nicola Angelucci (drums), Pierpaolo Bisogno (percussion) and, of course, Nicola Conte himself (guitar). Blue Note's superstar Logan Richardson (alto saxophone) completed this amazing cast.

So I was going on a trip that would require me to leave the boys with my husband for a good 4 days. To me that's like a thousand years and the children will go hungry! I had to do something. Freezer Meals! Thank God for the internet I learned that I can put together recipes ahead of time, freeze it and pop it in the slow cooker or the oven to cook. Sounded like a pretty easy plan for the husband to feed everyone without issues. So I went to work 2 weeks before my trip. I normally plan meals ahead and write them on my planner. I looked up recipes from the internet that included vegetables. Put them in Ziploc bags and freeze them. The turn out was successful, and just as how I imagined it! The husband and kids were able to prepare it and enjoyed the taste.
Recipes I found helpful and that turned out really good you can find them on pinterest or Allrecipes, but I also recommend this site http://www.sixsistersstuff.com.

Celebrities are people we admire, succeed and copy their style. Today I will tell you about bracelets which fashionistas like to wear in everyday life and for special events.
Bracelets are the kind of accessory which can make the entire outfit or just to add elegant hint to the look. This is the best way to express style and unique personality without being too revealing. Tiny bracelets are appropriate for office or college, but if you keep your outfit neutral and don't want to stay unnoticed, choose bright massive statement bracelets. But make sure your jewellery correspond the occasion and style.
Don't neglect wearing bracelets, as they can easily add edgy finishing touch to your outfit. Here some pieces I adore and recommend you to pay attention on while creating your celebrity look.

Product Rave: MAC Paint Pot in Bare Study
On a recent trip to MAC, I picked up their paint pot in Bare Study. It reminded me a bit of Stila's Kitten Smudge Pot that I have been wanting, so I decided to give it a try. The price was pretty good at $16.50. I have to say that I am SO glad that I decided to try this. Since I purchased Bare Study, I have worn it almost every single day as a base for my shadows. It goes on sheer and slightly shimmery. It gives a beautiful look to any eye look that I want to create. Best of all, Bare Study keeps my shadow on all day with no smudging or creasing. It's not the best base for matte shadows because of the slightly shimmery finish. I would say that's best left for Urban Decay's Primer Potion. Either way, Bare Study is my current favorite eye product. I can't wait to try more paint pots from MAC :)

Global markets are "overreacting" to the British vote to exit the European Union, UBS' China head Eugene Qian said, as he called on clients to stay focused on their long-term investment strategies.
"It pays to pause a little bit" to think about what the right next step is, Qian said in an interview on Monday with Bloomberg Television's Stephen Engle. "It's wise to pause."
Qian said he's expecting some Chinese companies to slow the pace of their investment in the U.K., given the potential for uncertainty in the country over the next couple of years. Still, over the longer term, a lot of the bank's clients are still looking to developed markets like the U.K. and the EU, he said.
"Economically, a lot of Chinese companies still see the U.K. as a market where it does have a lot of potential to collaborate" with the mainland, Qian said.
UBS remains committed to its China strategy even amid the uncertainty over Brexit and softer global markets this year, he said. CEO Sergio Ermotti in January unveiled a plan to double the firm's workforce in China to about 1,200 over the next five years as he seeks a slice of a financial-services market traditionally dominated by Chinese firms.
"No single event will change our long-term strategy for China," Qian said. Over the medium to long term, there are "very promising prospects of local domestic market development, especially in wealth management, but also in the capital markets," he said.

The ability to quickly bounce back from a disaster – whether it's a cyber attack, catastrophic hardware failure, or a devastating storm – is one of the highest priorities for IT departments. For that reason, disaster recovery and cyber security recovery plans are some of the most difficult, most important work an IT professional will ever do. But once the planning is complete, how does one know the plans they've come up with will actually hold up to the fire?
In other words, what must one do to test one's disaster recovery capabilities?
Unfortunately, the answer to that question isn't a simple one. Testing a disaster recovery or cyber security recovery plan is an expensive, complicated, and time-consuming process – enough that even large enterprises only tend to do a full-scale test once a year at most.
"Disaster recovery plan testing is critical to identifying changes in the environment so that the plan can be updated or modified to include any new situations and to accommodate any altered conditions," writes Tech Target's George Crump. "Despite the importance of DR plan testing, full-scale tests can only be done periodically, because they're time-consuming and often expensive to conduct. In reality, partial testing is more likely with a quarterly frequency at best."
As for smaller-scale testing, you've got a few options at your disposal, with varying degrees of effectiveness.
The Paper Test
The easiest and most inexpensive test to perform. This just involves everyone responsible for drafting your recovery plans reading through and annotating where they deem it necessary. This process may or may not incorporate records from recent disasters or emergencies suffered by your organization.
The Walkthrough Test
This one's closely related to paper testing. You have a group walk through a plan, and together identify any problematic elements or changes that need to be applied. Again, this process may make use of records from prior disasters.
The Simulation
Now we're getting a bit more complex. Basically, this is a standard emergency drill. the company goes through a simulated disaster and determines how effective everyone was at fulfilling their roles. Think of a fire drill like you had back when you were a child – it's something like that.
The big weakness of the simulation is that it's very difficult to simulate a ransomware infection or cyber attack without the assistance of a cyber security consulting agency. Most businesses don't have the resources or expertise to do so. If they did, they'd likely pen-test and secure their own systems without having to bring in external help.
The Parallel Test
This is closer to a full-scale DR test, and one of the more expensive and extensive options at your disposal. With a Parallel test, your business sets up temporary recovery systems to see if they can actually support the business while primary systems are shut down. It's sort of like a stress test for these systems.
The Cutover Test
A full-scale DR test. Primary systems are disconnected, and secondary systems are built to assume the full workload of those systems. Understandably, this is one of the costliest tests you can possibly run – but it's also one you need to run at least infrequently.
You'll need to perform each of these tests on a regular schedule of some kind if you want to be assured that your disaster recovery plan is sound. Without testing, you've no idea whether or not what you've proposed will hold up during an actual emergency. And you don't want to wait for a crisis to discover something like that – trust me.Follow Liberty Center One:

Painter in Abbotsford
I am an independent painter who a is semi retired civil servant. I have painted condos and small homes in the past. I have a steady hand for clean lines and feature walls.

I come with my own brushes and rollers. The last condo I painted was 1000 sq/ft - with two bedrooms, a kitchen/living area, two bathrooms, a laundry room and all closets which took me 40 hours. Sorry but I do not install or remove wall paper.

Sounds like the Public Software Fund, only we're non-profit.
We have a 501(c)(3) determination so donations towards the
funding of projects are deductible on your US income taxes, and
we don't take a percentage.
Yours is a superior and legitimate approach. Your NPO performs a
genuine financial service by drawing the lines between public and
private interest. For example, Alice and Bob can strike a quasi-deal
"out of band" -- and then implement that deal through pubsoft to
sweeten it. In contrast, a ".com" doesn't add anything to the deal:
if Bob can find Alice via google, then the ".com" is superflous and
I think it _might_ make sense for some of the project governence orgs
(gnome.org, apache.org, etc.) to formalize a system to pay volunteers,
then use pubsoft.org to help implement that. And then, following that
example, smaller projects that don't have a ".org" can join the pack.
Complementary to pubsoft.org would be a ".org" that does, in a
less discriminatory, what the FSF currently does in terms of assigment
paperwork and legal support for copyright issues.

Aug 21, 2012 - Amanda Bean, first grade elementary teacher at Jessieville, began her Back to School preparation in May as she became involved with a new study involving Apps with Curriculum in the Classroom. Based on the premise that apps alone are not enough for educators, this study is part 2 of Apps with Curriculum and examines the need for app developers to provide curriculum that is Common Core State Standards aligned.
Aug 01, 2012 - A retired National Board Certified English teacher develops an educational storybook app - "Smarty Britches: Nouns" - that teaches nouns to elementary students. Curriculum for educators, homeschoolers, and parents is free and expands on not only nouns but is also cross-curricular with the subjects of art, music, geography, and science; these lessons align with Common Core Standards. Cyndie Sebourn is the owner of Sascyn Publishing, Inc. and the author of "Smarty Britches: Nouns."
May 18, 2012 - Students at Jessieville Elementary School in Arkansas recently participated in a pilot program by a National Board Certified Teacher to use apps in the classroom, in alignment with Common Core State Standards and with accompanying custom-designed curriculum.

Seven New Rights
Posted in:
by Pete Moser on 1 March 2017
Tagged with: Start Again
Tonight my great West End Chorus worked hard on their words and their singing. The story of this piece is beginning to be told and the story is strong. I am so happy to be making this piece happen now - at this time.20 years ago Adrian wrote this to close the piece - we never turned it into music. Here are his extra new seven rights
Those were the thirty human rights
Out of reach of most of mankind
Here are seven more possible rights
To set running through your mind
We demand our rights
We demand our right to live
Free as air Free as air
I claim the right not to carry a gun
I claim the right not to kill anyone
I won't kill whatever the cause
I've seen enough of their cruel wars
Let's eat and drink without fear
Of poisons or bacteria
And breathe an air free from the smoke
And yellow fumes that make us choke
For those in daily fear we seek
Protection from the poor and weak
From those who practise cruelty
At work or in the family
All living things we will respect
And when it's necessary to protect
All creatures in their sweet diversity
Will live with us in harmony
I claim the right to bear a child
I claim the right not to bear a child
I claim the right to choose to die
Painlessly and peacefully
In this world of nervous billionaires
And ragged arsed kids who poverty tears
The wealth of this bountiful planet of ours
Must be divided into fair shares
Adrian Mitchell 1998

text: Aloha, last year around christmas i downloaded and installed "backup manager" to put some wii games for my daughter on a usb-stick, the programm worked but i didn't use it at that time. Yesterday i opened the program by clicking the icon, to use it but it gave me the message "27/12/201019:47:03 is not a valid date and time" ? . than i got "access violation at address 006B1153 in module"wiibackupmanager.exe" read of address 00000008 ? . In the format drives window he can't find any drives ?. I also have to use task manager to end the proces ? So i tried 4 times to download, unzip and install the software, but every time he told me the same . I searched the web and found in your forum someone else with the same problem onthe 7th of January. There the answer was, to delete all the log files before starting the app. The problem is that me as a noob and dutch i don't understand that solution ?. So the questions are why did it work the first time, and 4 weeks later it fails ?. Is it something that i do wrong ?. And what do i have to do (exactly) to get the programm on my pc, put the games on the stick and make my daughter happy ?. grtz, Patrick from Amsterdam.
